To launch the program, a community consultation meeting will be held in the Boronia Room at Tomaree Library, Salamander Bay at 1pm on Friday 1 September. The purpose of this meeting is to introduce the concept of STARS to local seniors, to discuss the interests and needs for the group, and to discuss strategies for the group moving forward.
